Fall of the Interior depaifr'i according to the tentative plana, la to j# Company the President. Under the circumstances that is to hp ipartad The Alaskan problem Is one of many ramifications. The bnstc |act around which the various phases of the problem revolve Is put in n nutshcU the question, "What's the matter with Alaska?" "Too much government by too many bureava tab far away." is one of the many answers to the question. Though Alaska has a governor (Scott C. Bone) and a legislature and a territorial delegate to congress (Dan A. Sutherland), it is real- ' JJr governed by Washington bureaus and apparent' ly almost every executive department has a hand to that government. You see, nearly all of Alaska's natural resourtea « axe directly or Indirectly controlled by the federal government. About 99 per cent of the land is still In government ow nership. Coal and oil develop* , met it is under government leases. Water power and fisheries and timber are under federal control.' Atad ti|e activities of the many bureaus of the several departments dovetail, overlap and conflict to a bewildering tangle. Owing to the divided authority and the limitations of statutes and appropriations. there would i>e mixup, even w|ira co-operation the watchword of all concerned. ^ As the result Alaska has not been doing wall. The population has fallen off. The commerce has decreased. The country is not being developed. The fisheries are not prospering. The post office department can hardly be said to function, (team transportation is Inadequate and costly. With «t and coal of her own Alaska is Importing both. Various plans have been proposed for Alaska's relief. A number of bills has been Introduced to congress. One bill would put the administratis^ Into the hands of an Alaskan developmenf board. Another would give the Prealdent authority to rporganise all federal activities. The Interior department has many activities jgl the governing of Alaska. It Is Secretary FaflAi Idea that the way to develop Alaska is to vest absolute authority in the President and to concentrate in the Interior department all functions perjptftn mtRZ&s&bir* ^ Jttfwt mtfymttm/ ending. June 90,182L He goes into detail and nays generally, among other things: "The report of the governor for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1921. emphasizes, as the paramount need of Alaska, liberalized laws and more flexible rules and regulations thereunder, with a concentration of authority and responsibility and an administration co-ordinated and brought closer home. Capital and people are required to develop the resources of the territory and until it Is made easier for these two necessary factors to obtain a foothold the territory will not progress. The difficulties of administration are great owing to distances and inadequate transportation and mail facilities. Under the present long-range system of government Individual initiative has been halted and the pibneer spirit maimed. To promote efficiency by minimizing relays, the governor earnest- • ...ly recommends that the administration be cen- ^traliaed at Juneau, the territorial capital, to the ^fullest extent possible, while governmental supervision is maintained at Washington. To further this end, after he proposed consolidation of bureaus i under one departmental head, -he suggests that each essential bureau station a representative at Juneau, empowered to act upon all matters not affecting public policy. Obstructions met by capital seeking investment and by people in quest of homesteads have been lessened somewhat in recent years, but by no means removed; both capital and people, It is urged, are entitled to a fairer chance than they have ever had in the past. "In conclusion, the governor submits the following recommendations: "A co-ordinated and simplified system of government, with bureaus having Jurisdiction In Alaaka consolidated under one departmental head at Washington. The stationing at Juneau of an authorised agent of each essential bureau exercising administrative functions in Alaska with power to act upon matters not affecting federal policy. "A centralization of executive and administrative business in Alaska to the fullest extent consistent with continued governmental supervision An appropriation of $300,000 to supplement the fund of $155,000 now available for the purpose of v constructing an administrative and executive building at Juneau on ground owned by the government . : and to provide quarters therein for the territorial legislature and the Alaaka historical library and . museum. "Liberal mining and land laws framed to meet distinctive and divergent conditions In Alaska and regulations under such laws that will tend to stimulate enterprise and encourage settlement. "A colonization plan to be worked out In coo- Junction with the operation of the government rallrowd to bring under cultivation the vast area of agricultural land In the interior. "Improved transportation facilities and more equitable freight rates, through private enterprise. If obtainable, and under governmental regulation and control; or, as aii alternative, through the operation of vessels of the United States shipping board and the establishment of a mosquito fleet to meet local needs. "More liberal mail subsidies to enable the poetoffice department to function in Alaaka and thus tatnlttg to the development and use of natural ai(] in the solution of transportation probleiaa. aoorcas and to contraction work. (V aowe this Idea la not at all pleasing to nm»y^ odHlfali at bureaus in other departments. , • „ ,r The* there is another proposition which complf. cates the political phases of the situation: Tha proposed reorganlaattan of ail the executive depart* meats. This reorganization would regroup the various bureau activities and bring about a wholesale transfer of bureaus among the department* One contemplated transfer under this reorganise*, tion is that of the forest service In charge of tha national forest from the Agricultural department to the Interior dapartnent.
